feature request: Make OverseerRun faster

[rmenai]

Did you check existing requests?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the feature

There should be an option to cache the output of the OverseerRun command on file load and when changing buffers. This would make the command much faster and much better to use, especially when mapping it to a shortcut.

Provide background

When running OverseerRun command, it takes a lot of time because it needs to parse the builtin templates and then check the conditions of each template. It would be nice to make this command faster because right now, it takes like 2 seconds to run for me.

What is the significance of this feature?

strongly desired

Additional details

Here is the part of the code where all the work is done

for _, provider in ipairs(providers) do
  local provider_name = provider.name
  local is_match, message = condition_matches(provider.condition, nil, opts, false) -- THIS TAKES SO MUCH TIME
  if is_match then
    local cache_key = provider.cache_key(opts)
    local provider_cb = function(tmpls)
      handle_tmpls(tmpls, provider_name, provider.module, cache_key)
    end
    start_times[provider.name] = vim.loop.hrtime()  -- Undefined field `hrtime`.
    pending[provider.name] = true
    if cache_key and cached_provider_results[cache_key] then
      handle_tmpls(
        cached_provider_results[cache_key],
        provider_name,
        provider.module,
        cache_key,
        true
      )
    else
      local ok, tmpls = pcall(provider.generator, opts, provider_cb)
      if ok then
        if tmpls then
          -- if there was a return value, the generator completed synchronously
          -- TODO deprecate this flow
          provider_cb(tmpls)
        end
      else
        log:error("Template provider %s: %s", provider.name, tmpls)
      end
    end
  else
    report.providers[provider_name] = {
      is_present = is_match,
      message = message,
      total_tasks = 0,
      available_tasks = 0,
    }
  end
end

After digging more into this, I nailed down the issue to vim.fn.executable taking a long time to run on WSL..

I ended up fixing this by changing this setting on WSL and in worked! Now it loads instantly
